À propos de cette annonce
One of the most fabled Flat-Tops of all time, the Gibson J-185 was released back in 1951 before being quickly discontinued in 1959, less 1000 guitars were built in this short production window. Due to the rarity of this model, the J-185 quickly developed a cult following and became incredibly sought after amongst players. Gibson are proud to release a fresh take on this legendary design, the J-185 Century 12-Fret. This model keeps many of the key features of the J-185, but moves to a 12-fret neck joint instead of the more familiar 14-fret layout. With the 12-fret design, the neck is slightly shorter, and moves the bridge plate father from the waist and closer to the bodys widest point, which enhances top movement and improves comfort. It might seem like a small change, but it has a noticeable impact on the tone and feel. This guitar has a warm, punchy, and resonant voice. It works well with fingerstyle techniques, and of course with a plectrum.The J-185 Century 12-fret features a solid Sitka Spruce top, alongside Mahogany back & sides. This tone wood pairing has been used for decades and results in a balanced tone thats super sweet and full. The satin nitrocellulose lacquer is incredibly thin, which allows the whole guitar to resonate much more effectively when compared to other finish types.The Mahogany neck uses a compound dovetail joint, which is secured to the body with hot hide glue. This is a traditional build technique which Gibson has used throughout their history, its great to see these vintage techniques still being used today. It features a SlimTaper neck profile, which feels great in your hands, its the perfect choice for a guitar like this. The Rosewood fingerboard is dark in colour, and features a 12 radius, 24.75 scale length, standard size frets, and mother of pearl dot inlays.Across this model youve got a bunch of vintage inspired appointments that really make this guitar standout. The headstock features open-back Golden Age strap tuners, alongside an early 1900s-style Gibson script logo. The body also features a sloped-rectangle closed-slot bridge crafted from Rosewood.Each instrument ships in a premium Century Collection tweed hardshell case
